PC Won't Turn On But Motherboard Light Is On - Ebuyer Prebuilt Gaming PC NEGLIGENCE?

[@HealMyTech1]

This is Ash from HealMyTech & I need your help. I recently suffered a STROKE (end July 2021) which has left me disabled for now (temporarily?), which may have been caused by the VACCINE ASTRA ZENECA. The videos were uploaded on my channel end August 2021. I have set up a GoFundMe, any donations are welcome. gofund.me/ccb57a48 Here is also my paypal link paypal.me/healmytech The links are also in the description with other ways to donate.

There is another possible reason for this behavior. If you fail to put the lever of the cpu socket up before you insert the cpu, it drops in nice and tight nonetheless and you can install the cooler just fine. None of the cpu pins will make many contact though so the system will behave as if no cpu is installed at all. Then you will browse the internet for solutions or explanations for days, call multiple repair shops in your area to ask if they happen to have an old processor that can be used to update the BIOS (because you probably have a BIOS too old to recognize your fancy new processor) and no one can help you so you finally contact your supplier to return the board and you start dismantling it. When you get to the point where you remove the cooler you will find the processor comes off with the cooler without effort. Which strikes you as odd... Your aging brain then only needs a couple of seconds more to understand what happened. Although no physical damage is done and your system starts up just fine after re-inserting the cpu properly, you cannot be happy about it quite yet because you feel so stupid. Your ego will need weeks to recover.

[@GeneralMerc]

Lol That exactly happened to me a while ago. Fortunately I saw your comment. I bought a new very nice ASUS B550 PRO motherboard and I was afraid that it was defective and I would ask for an RMA. I usually repair computers and laptops from my friends and relatives and I felt like a stupid newbie to see that I had forgotten to secure the processor. I think that more than a rookie mistake, it is my back pain that is killing me and causing me to rush and forget obvious details. It's not my brain that's getting old, it's my lame spine. I'm gonna take some ibuprofen. Thanks for saving my day

[@zulu6756]

This is just not acceptable from any reputable system builder, how could they get something so basic so wrong, you can usually feel when the cpu goes in all the way with your fingers when you drop the cpu onto the socket.

Alot of ppl don't have patience bro

[@domainmojo2162]

One of your African viewers here.. Some time ago, a colleague of mine gave me a good upper-mid-tier Ryzen 5/RTX 3090/16GB gaming PC with an ASUS B450M-K that had started doing this. Said I can have it if I can fix it, cause it was "trash"... (his own words, not mine) I took it home.. inspected it. Did exactly the same. You'd press the power button, but nothing would happen- no CPU fan turning, no case fans turning, no PSU fans turning, motherboard lights up(some moving light near the back of the IO on the mobo), with another light on the PCI-E slot(deceptive, cause it could mislead one into thinking the PCI-E slot is f*d, but anyway..), so: 1. Detemine if the PSU functions at least: --- - I disconnected the 24-pin connector on the motherboard - On the 24-pin connector, I shorted the pins of the green wire and one of the black wires' pins using a paper clip(Always keep a paper clip or two on hand. The green wire is the line for "power-on") and the PSU switched on- fan turning and everything. So... the PSU was functioning, which led me to believe that the power switch or the motherboard pins where the power switch connect to, were efffed. 2. Determine whether the power switch or the pins on the mobo were done in: --- - Reconnected the PSU to the motherboard by reconnecting the 24-pin connector - Took a screwdriver and shorted the two pins where the power-switch's wires would connect to... and voila! RGB ligthing everywhere.. "Press F1 to enter BIOS.. " and whatnot. "Jazz hands" and more... - I entered the BIOS, loaded default settings and tadaaaa! A nice, decent performing ROG-based rig with Crucial Ballistix and Kingston SSDs, Lian-Li case, etc for less than peanuts! 3. Conclusion: - I then installed an external power switch and mounted it neatly onto the case, with a neat little safe housing, since it's impractical to use a screwdriver to start this thing, and with all the RGB lighting and cabling and s*, I didn't have the will to change/fix the PC's own power button. Hope this helps some poor b*ard somewhere.

[@migsycee]

Nice one Ash , i think they were lucky to only get 1 bent pin. Makes you wonder who put the CPU in the first place as you can feel if the CPU has gone in correctly when inserting, and clearly the system was not checked onced built. Keep up the good work.

[@xXMasterJ360Xx]

So in my case my psu is probably dead considering I never open up my pc let alone mess with the cpu UPDATE: I just did the jump start method using a screwdriver on the powerswitch pins and it powered up my PC to life. So my psu is ok. Almost ended up spending $150 on something I didn't need. So my guess the culprit was that my psu & power switch connector got loose, since now im able to turn on/off with the power button again.

[@Mr_q17]

Thanks for the video, you saved me. My pc was just like that, the mother board seemed dead. But then after seeing your video I went to check my CPU, it was OK but maybe I had put it wrong. Then I tried it again and it worked. ❤

[@wrathxerath5274]

I experience the same scenario and I was desperate thinking my simple gaming rig will become unusable, I was desperate I thought it was the motherboard and I physically damage it and other components hoping I could Fix it by removing most of the parts like RAM and Vcard, nearly tried everything (every suggested procedure to fix it) > But I managed to fix it in a weird way. When I saw your video that it was the CPU's problem, I checked the CPU and I don't see any bent pins at all, I imagine that a motor needs to be warmed up before ramping the RPM up so what I did to my CPU (in desperation) I removed it and Open the box where my OLD PC was stored and removed the old CPU's Fan and I Place my new CPU facing down to the old one, then I turned the OLD PC on of curse without the fans for about 1-3mins. > when it's Hot enough that I couldn't barely hold it, I place the CPU back to my motherboard and a miracle happened, it turned on, fans spinning and successfully bot up. I have no Idea what actually happened when I place that CPU to the old one while the OLD PC was running without fans, If someone could explain to me what happened exactly during that stupid experiment of mine, It will be great.

[@LucianoPiana]

I've a similar problem, but the orange light, on boot, in my MB turns on only occasionally. PC doesn't start (black monitor) and I have to turn it off and on again, and then it starts. It always happens in the first boot of the day (mostly in the morning). I suspect it may have been the use of Throttlestop.

[@narutosasuke5249]

we have same problem the board have power when i turn it on wont turn on but if i let it sit for 2 to 3mins it will turn it on first boot in the morning and also the clock is reseting although i already change the cmos battery....my last thing to do is to buy a new ram

[@TheGuideThatYouNeed]

Just asking can the cmos battery can cause no display on the monitor also my pc start then automatically shutdown then start again any tips how to fix it?, the fans are working.

[@KingKatura]

i got a Ibuypower pc that did a similar thing after light use of the pc. Literally within a month it stopped working, Ibuypower then tried to say it was the GPU, which i tried to get them to take the whole pc, sure enough it was not the gpu, & then refuses to fix it, so pretty much stuck with it unless i decide to sue them or something. But i recorded everything & the first one looked like they jammed the original gpu into it & a bunch of other stuff. So I'm not surprised that thier are other company's doing the same thing. Its crazy really.

[@wisenpie9651]

I have the same issue where my motherboard's rgb turns on but not the ram fan gpu. I thought the psu was the problem but is not. The power switch but is not. I'm scared that my Mobo is the one that have the problem but this video gives me an assurance since I'm testing it without a CPU. I hope when I finally get my cpu it will work.

I need help, as my computers power button won’t work. The lights are on, but it just doesn’t turn on.

[@GamerToday]

Got to say im watching vids to mentally help i made a crucial error when fixing complex issue today as left residue of thermal paste on hands with an amd chip. Been hell of a day hopefully i can say i got post.... But not sure i cleaned it with 91% alcohol it looks new. But making sure it drys fully. Chip was already acting funny in system and wasnt appearing to be thermal but i wanted to re seat it. Little to say building a pc when you fuck up feels like surgery. Just because you feel like you killed someone.

[@NetOp97]

I think I have that problem now, I’m experiencing similar symptoms. I took my cpu cooler fan off to install a ssd but never thought to check to see if any pins were bent for damaged. That maybe the case

[@shawnsak3016]

My builder was SkyTech and they installed a leaky water cooling system. It dripped on my NVMe post that holds it down. PC was 9 months old and I paid for a 3 year coverage. They said I spilled liquid on it and voided my warranty and stopped all communication with me. 2,500$ 9 month old PC, gone. And I have zero way to replace it.

[@IoniB]

I'm having this issue right now. But my PC has been running fine for 2 years. Today I came back home finding that our house fuse for sockets had been turned off, so we thought there was a power cut. I came to the PC and the LED on the motherboeard lights up, but pressing the power button does nothing. I tried taking out the battery, the RAM, disconecting all peripherals, taking out the GPU and trying to connect the two pins using a screwdriver and nothing is helping. I don't know what could be the issue but I think it's either the PSU, Motherboard or CPU ;/.... I just need to fix it soon. Thank you for this video though

Bend pin common issue for me while removing the humongous heatsink that been seeting on cpu for ages, you cannot even slide open the cpu clip as it stuck to huge heatsink and heatsink stuck glue to the cpu😒. The only way is pull it which lead to bend some pin, but straighten it back works fine😄

My keyboard LED lights will sometimes turn off and my pc will go into standby but everything is working and moving except i have the yellow light on my motherboard. Usually happens when i start using my pc. Never happens aftef thr first 10min if everything is fine. This time i opened a game and a web browser and my mouse stopped moving and it did it again.

I've just had the same issue. The PC will not post on arrival. I tried everything. Re-seated the Ram, CPU, GFX. Bios Battery, checked the 24pin, 8pin. Booted with the bare minimum. Checked for damage on pins or anywhere in the case. Nothing looked out of place. The PC just would not post. I've returned it to the company but I've no idea why this happened. One thing I found odd was the Debug LEDs would not light up at any point. They did not cycle or light to indicate a problem

Here's an interesting possibility, which would explain why the buyer wanted you to fix it, and not contact the seller. It WAS the buyer's fault. It came with a stock cooler, and the buyer tried to upgrade it with a better cooler, but being inexperienced, he thought he had to remove the cpu to do this, which is what he did. When he tried to reinstall the cpu, his inexperience led him to install it improperly, and this was the result. In this scenario, there was no fault on the part of the seller.
